This is a great series to pick up if you're new to anime or even if you've
been watching them for years. Its a beautiful story with really interesting
characters. I can almost guarantee that if you watch the first few episodes
you'll be totally hooked to the series. Fortunately it ends after 13 discs so
its not ongoing indefinitely. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't
seen it yet… I also agree that this is a good price for the first box set as
its usually about $119 elsewhere.

Description

Legend tells of a mystical artifact that when used will increase it's possessor's power a thousand fold. Many have sought out the stone's power; all have failed. But a new adventurer has taken up the quest. A young State Alchemist seeks to right a most horrific wrong. His quest will determine the ultimate fate of an entire nation…and for himself. To seize the stone would allow him to restore life to those he loves, but it will also make it possible for the State Military to obliterate countless more. It is this burden that the young Alchemist bears. The power to create is but a breath away from the power to destroy. His name is Edward Elric. And he seeks the Philosopher's Stone.
